 Topic: Your Top (5/10/whatever) electronic(a) albums
Posted: March 06 2010 at 13:15 |
All genres included! My top 10, one artist only: 1. BT - This Binary Universe (2006) (RYM rating: 3.75)  2. Steve Roach - Structures from Silence (1984) (RYM rating: 4.00)  3. Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (1992) (RYM rating: 3.99)  4. Brian Eno - Another Green World (1975) (RYM rating: 4.13)  5. Klaus Schulze - X (1978) (RYM rating: 4.08)  ------------------------- 6. Tangerine Dream - Hyperborea (1983) (RYM rating: 3.59) 
7. Michael Hoenig - Departure from the Northern Wasteland (1978) (RYM rating: 3.87)  8. Massive Attack - Mezzanine (1998) (RYM rating: 4.08)  9. The Flashbulb - Soundtrack to a Vacant Life (2008)
(RYM rating: 3.37) 
10. Biosphere - Substrata (1997) (RYM rating: 3.96)  I'm not too sure about those bottom 5 except Tangerine Dream. I really need to listen to more Gas, Global Communication, Monolake, Air, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Future Sound of London, and Fennesz. They've all got great albums, but I'm nebulous on how they stand in the grand picture. Et tu?

I've got absolutely no knowledge of any boundaries of electronica, but perhaps these might fit in?
1. Depeche Mode - The Songs of Faith and Devotion 2. Talk Talk - It's My Life (I doubt people accept straight synth pop as an electronica genre, or do they?) 3. Depeche Mode - Violator 4. Kraftwerk - The Man Machine 5. Pet Shop Boys - Bilingual

Here's my list, not in order:-
The Black Dog - Spanners
Boards Of Canada - Geogaddi or Music Has The Right To Children ( I can't split those two)
The Orb - Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld
Reload - A Collection Of Short Stories
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol 2
Beaumont Hannant - Texturology
Sasha - Global Underground San Francisco
Plaid - Spokes
Autechre - Incunabula
Global Communication - 76:14
Sasha/Digweed - Northern Exposure
FSOL - Accelerator

"vos" not "vous" perhaps? The original Shakespearian phrase is Latin not French. "Et tu, Bruté"

I assume Lucas doesn't think that Stoney made a historical reference, and neither would I  But that's still an interesting connection.

Caesar & Brutus were French!? 
nah, even on the French Google site enter "et tu" and you'll arrive at Shakespeare with the first three hits

 Julius Caesar was awesome. And for the record I know nothing from French and only a few fallacies in Latin.
